Comment on My opinion on Bone conduction earphones
MudMan@fedia.io 7 months agoYeah, they are a good thing to have around as a secondary for a bunch of situations where you're multitasking and need awareness but still want to hear an audio feed.
Which if you're an audiophile with a budget for audio stuff is fine, I like mine, no regrets. But if you're budget-conscious and just need one set of headphones that will do the job all around this tech is probably not your first choice.

This thread is wild to me as a shokz devotee. I use them for everything, no secondary set of headphones, music sounds good. I don’t care about bass at all, though.

Like I said, I like them, but "I don't care about bass" is like saying "I like this monitor, I don't care about the color red, though".
Yeah, it's fine and if that's you I get it... but it's not a universally accepted take.
But hey, I used them as my main set for calls and podcasts and stuff for a while. They're fine. I just would get a good all-rounder first.
Plus there's the literal bone-tickling at high volumes. It's hard to get lost in the music with no bass and the constant feeling that somebody is lightly dusting inside your cochlea.
